Go To

When Stewie receives a participation medal in his school's toddler games, he begins to question everything he has ever won; Peter causes a fight between Lois' parents and must repair the damage he caused.


Tropes seen in this episode:

  • Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: Babs feeds Alka-Seltzer tablets to birds, causing their stomachs to explode and rain blood on her and Peter as they discuss her returning to Carter.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Babs calls Milwaukee's Best an awful beer until Carter informs her they sponsor Family Guy, prompting her to call it delicious.
  • Grievous Bottley Harm: Babs uses a beer bottle to knock out a bartender who threatens Carter.
  • House Fire: Upon learning he has only ever won participation awards and never actually placed in anything he’s done, Stewie takes a flamethrower to the collection of "medals", but his fit of rage quickly spreads through the rest of the house, endangering Chris’ life when he is trapped inside.
  • Literal-Minded: When Babs tells Peter she wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Peter remarks that a silver spoon would've torn up her mother's uterus.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Urban Legends: No, Alka-Seltzer will not cause birds to explode.
